- Tomb Raider Speedrunning FAQs! -- http://www.twitch.tv/potatohandle
- Q: What's the WR for Tomb Raider?
- A: 1:47:52 for PC by TheArtisticBallistic, 1:56:27 for console by Brassmaster.
- Q: What's your PB? What console are you on?
- A: My PB is 1:57:28 on the 360 version. You can check out the VOD here: http://www.twitch.tv/potatohandle/c/3327445
- Q: Why do you play the console version if the PC version is faster?
- A: A few reasons:
- - While my laptop is decent enough to run the game pretty well, it is still "just a laptop", so I'm pretty sure I'd lose time at loading screens and the like and wouldn't be able to get a competitive time.
- - Generally speaking, more speedrun tech works on console, or works more consistently (Slope Climbing, easier door clipping, etc) so if any more large platform-specific tricks are found (Like the Alex skip) they're likely to be on console.
- - The console run is more entertaining to watch IMO, we can do more door clips early in the game, and there's fewer skips which are likely to completely kill runs.
- Q: What tricks/glitches are there in the run?
- A: Lots. There's a number of places where you can use pause buffering to clip through doors, there's also some cutscene dodging, usually just by clever terrain use. You can also skip some battles by abusing checkpoints, etc, there's lots of cool stuff and I'll try and explain everything as I'm doing it.
- Q: Who else runs the game that you would recommend?
- A: Definitely check out BrassMaster (Console) and TheArtisticBallistic (PC). Brass is the world's most interesting man, and Artistic has the world's clickiest keyboard.
